The battle became more chaotic for a while because of the joining of Chu Chuan. After all, Chu Chuan's Weibo fans were a hundred times more inhumane than the fans of Ah Xian's author account. So before the sun set, the battle had already been decided: Ah Xian was gloriously beaten into the ground by Chu Chuan's fans.

——It's also the fault of these naive people who are desperate to find fault with Zhuchuan. If they had just kept their mouths shut at the beginning and not thrown the dirty water on Zhuchuan with evil intentions, and had united to attack Chu Li honestly, Zhuchuan's girlfriend fans might have been happy to see it happen and would not have said a word to Chu Li at all.

They know nothing about the art of quarrelsome warfare.

During dinner time in the evening, Zhuchuan received a call from Yuanyue Society.

The person who made the call was Liang Chonglang, who kept saying things like "Let's sit down and discuss a solution", "After all, you are also the author of this book, so we must work together at a time like this", "No one wants to see such a big project go wrong, right?" His shamelessness was astonishing. Zhu Chuan was holding the phone, laughing and crying. He turned his head and glanced at Chu Li, who was acting well and drinking soup quietly with his head down.

Chu Li seemed to feel his gaze and raised his head to look at him in confusion.

Chu Li really just raised her head and gave him a normal look, but the man's eyes moved, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips. Chu Li was stunned for a moment, and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. She wanted to ask what it felt like to kiss a mouthful of chicken soup.

However, before she could open her mouth to speak, she saw the man turned his back and said to the person on the other end of the phone in a firm voice: "Mr. Liang, please stop talking nonsense. It's been a long time since Chu Li left the company. You still want to put the blame on her when something happened... You should have thought about the consequences when you did this in the first place. So I will not intervene in this matter anymore. You guys take care of yourselves."

Liang Chonglang seemed to want to fight back desperately, but unfortunately he was interrupted by Zhu Chuan: "Okay, that's it. Don't force me to say anything too harsh."

At this point, Liang Chonglang could only hang up the phone awkwardly.

When Zhuochuan turned around, Chu Li was gulping down the soup. He took out a tissue and touched his mouth. He raised his eyes and said, "I have been your stepping stone, and you have gained a good reputation as a wife-protecting maniac."

Zhuo Chuan reached out and took the tissue from Chu Li's hand, rolled it up and threw it away, his face calm, "This book has to be recalled no matter what. I worked hard for half a year and revised it countless times, but in the end, Herman never mentioned it... Let others laugh their heads off? I, Zhuo Chuan, am not ready to be the topic of conversation after dinner."

When he said this, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes... It was as if he was saying "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."

Chu Li also raised the corners of his lips, finding it quite interesting: Liang Chonglang was still hoping that Zhechuan would be kind enough to say a few words to save the situation, but he didn't know that in this whole thing, the person who was determined to kill him was not Chu Li, but Zhechuan.

Chu Li reached out and touched Zhu Chuan's face: "What should we do next?"

Zhuochuan said calmly: "You all know that Yuanyue Society is shameless. What they are afraid of is that the cooperation chain with the publishing house will be broken. I can also start from this aspect."

Chu Li: “What?”

Zhuochuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure either. Let's wait a little longer. Liang Chonglang called me about this matter, which means he's already panicking. Yuanyue Society likes to do things that cause chaos. It's said that you should hit the snake at its weakest point. I'm waiting for them to reveal what they fear the most."

Chu Li was stunned: "Isn't it Herman?"

Zhao Chuan glanced at Chu Li and said, "Herman's style is to cooperate with one country and then switch to the next. No matter what the final result of The Last Whale of the Pacific is, he will not publish books in China again. Yuanyue Publishing House makes money from the out-of-print sales. Why should they be afraid of Herman?"

Chu Li thought about it, then said "Ouch", frowned, bit his knuckles and looked troubled.

Zhuo Chuan pulled her hand out, looked at the small tooth mark on her white finger, lowered his head and kissed it, then leaned over to rub the corner of her lips, and said with a smile: "Wait a little longer, why are you in such a hurry?"

Chu Li originally thought that Yuanyue Society was afraid of Herman, and used all means to lure him out.

Now I feel that what Zhaochuan said makes a lot of sense. Regarding the matter of the hammer sale, Liang Chonglang should not be afraid of Herman... After all, this guy only cares about profits. From the incident that the cosplayer blocked the "Luohe Divine Book" vendors during the autograph session, we know that Liang Chonglang doesn't care about the author's status at all - but think about it, after Herman found out, Yuanyue Society must have been extremely scared and started to blame others like crazy. Why is this?

What went wrong?

Chu Li was so upset about this that he couldn't sleep well the whole night and tossed and turned in bed.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning, after she turned over again, that the man sleeping next to her finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned over to press on her, holding her down with his long arms and legs: "You idiot! Are you going to sleep or not?"

The man's voice was still slightly hoarse with sleepiness.

"I can't sleep," Chu Li said aggrievedly, "I still have to command thousands of troops to fight tomorrow. I can't tell those guys who are eager to try that I'm sorry that the strategy is wrong and I haven't thought of a new solution yet--"

Before he could finish his words, someone pinched his face, and Chu Li's last word became unclear.

"When a car reaches a mountain, there will always be a way; when a boat reaches a bridge, it will naturally straighten itself out." The man patted her face with his slightly rough big hand, "Go to sleep."

Chu Li had no choice but to shut up: "...Oh."

He turned over and pushed the person who was on top of him down. Chu Li was still very unconvinced when he put his arm around him: I was afraid that the boat would not naturally straighten when it reached the bridge. You patted my shoulder and said, go down and swim by yourself.

…

the next day.

Daybreak.

A group of people from Yuanyue Society boarded a plane to Maldives. Looking at the circle of friends who were all saying "nothing happened, the years are peaceful", Chu Li was speechless. It was like a frog being boiled in warm water still croaking happily, while the person who was boiling water next to him was getting burnt because he was worried about not having enough firewood!

Chu Li was so angry that he only ate a piece of bread for breakfast.

After waiting anxiously until noon, Chu Li finally reached her "bridge" -

When Yu Yao called, Chu Li was on the sofa, holding her phone and watching the fan club of Zhe Chuan, Qia Ah Xian, until she felt sleepy. She answered the phone, pressed the hands-free key, and said "Hello" listlessly. Yu Yao's smiling voice came over: "You are so weak, what's the matter? Do you also want to take a dip in the water of the Maldives?"

"Don't be ridiculous," Chu Li said, "I'm almost dying of worry about the correct way to open Mr. Liang's death notice."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you a joke to cheer you up."

"You're a bitch." Chu Li yawned.

So Yu Yao started to talk excitedly: "At noon, a friend of mine, let's call her Ms. Huang, came to ask me if I knew a former editor of Yuanyue Press named 'Chu Li'. I said I knew her and she used to be my subordinate. Guess what Ms. Huang said. She said that at eight o'clock in the morning, she was still on the way to send her daughter to kindergarten. Liang Chonglang called her personally. After a long apology, he told her that all the problems with "The Last Whale of the Pacific" were caused by this person named Chu Li. It was because you had a quarrel with them when you left and wanted to mess with them-"

Chu Li held the phone, his mind was a little unresponsive, and his subconscious thought was: Liang Chonglang called to apologize again? Why does he call to apologize every day? It's not right to say that he suddenly converted to Buddhism and changed his nature, otherwise why didn't Ah Gui and Suo Heng, two poor guys, receive his apology calls and were kicked off the signing table alive...

Chu Li blinked for a long time before realizing that he had not grasped the point correctly. He thought for a while and said nothing.

At this moment, the cell phone was snatched away from behind.

The man's deep voice echoed above her head: "Which Mr. Huang?"

Yu Yao: "The CEO of an overseas writers' copyright agency."

Chu Li was still yawning, but after hearing what Yu Yao said, he stopped yawning, froze for a moment, raised his head and exchanged glances with Zhu Chuan——

Then, coincidentally, they saw the same message in each other's eyes.

——It is said that one should hit the snake at its weakest point. Now, Yuanyue Publishing House has finally exposed its weakest point. It turns out that what they feared was not Herman, but the entire overseas writers' copyright agency behind Herman.

…

So when the Yuanyue Society members set foot on the beach of the Maldives, before they could start enjoying their vacation, their cell phones started to ring. The frogs finally realized that the bottom of the pot under their feet seemed to have become a little hot, and the water in their bodies no longer seemed to be a temperature that made the frogs happy.

——All attacks were suddenly directed at overseas writers’ copyright agencies.

Readers' complaint letters and questioning comments were all directed at the copyright company that negotiated the contract for Herman. They questioned that the company did not do its job properly, only took the money but did not do the work, cheated Mr. Herman, and had questionable business capabilities.

Mr. Herman even increased the pressure on the copyright agency. It is said that in his video conference, he angrily broke his pen and threatened that he would never cooperate with this copyright agency again in the future... So far, they have cooperated in friendly cooperation on nearly five works in branches in various countries. For them, Herman is undoubtedly their bread and butter -

Thus, the back and abdomen were hit.

Yuanyueshe became the copyright agency's only punching bag.

Threats, requests, demands, and all kinds of soft and hard words from the company flew to Yuanyue Society.

Basically, no matter how Herman threatened the copyright agent, asking them whether they would still cooperate in the future, he only changed a few words in the threatening words, and the copyright agent returned them to Yuanyue Publishing House intact!

Standing in a foreign country, Liang Chonglang was finally hit in the sore spot.

So we got off the plane at about ten o'clock in the evening.

The first thing he did was not to put on his swimming trunks and take his flamingo swimming ring to chat in the sea, but to hold an emergency meeting in the hotel room with several senior executives.

10:30 pm domestically.

When all lights were on, Yuanyueshe Weibo finally issued the first positive official response since the incident:

【@Say to Yuanyue Society:

Good evening, readers.

Since today, our company has received complaints and feedback about some mistakes in the author's introduction in the preface of the book "The Last Whale of the Pacific". After several days of emergency meetings and discussions within our company, we have decided to attach great importance to this matter and are willing to take full responsibility.

First of all, we would like to express our sincerest apologies to the author Mr. Houston Herman who was harmed. It was our company's negligence in reviewing the book and the lack of rigor in the personal ability and professional quality of our editors that led to this series of unpleasant outcomes.

We deeply regret this.

Secondly, in order to demonstrate our attitude of never tolerating or evading mistakes, we will first impose severe punishment on the editor. Then, our company announces the opening of a "return and refund" green channel. Any reader who believes that the errors in the preface of this book cannot be tolerated can contact the book purchase merchant to go through the return and refund procedures.

Thank you all for your trust and support for Yuanyue Publishing House. We have always adhered to the principle of "making the best book and dedicating it to the late-stage print media industry". Please believe that we will do better next time.

So far.

Salute.

I wish you all a happy weekend. 】

As soon as the announcement came out.

[Tell it to Yuanyue Society] The Weibo post was forwarded immediately, and immediately, all the rights protection groups and rights protection Weibo posts were filled with joy.

Yuanyueshe finally responded positively under the triple pressure from overseas copyright agencies, publishers, and the Press and Publication Administration, and the war seemed to have achieved a preliminary victory.

"Is this the end?"

Chu Li scrolled through the Weibo posts with rapidly increasing repost counts, and looked at the comments below such as "I feel sorry for Yuanyue Publishing House", "This is enough", "The decline of print media, oh, it's not easy for everyone", "Actually, I think the book is very good and doesn't need to be published online", "Anyway, I'm too lazy to quit", and sneered.

She threw away her phone with a look of disdain.

"You wish."
